@hichris123 I've had JavaScript code deployed by 3rd party websites break my production site before.

user163250

For really stupid reasons too.

user163250

This one time, a company I worked at was using a JavaScript analytics plugin that used a global variable called s.

user163250

One day, the JavaScript broke on the site because another 3rd party library deployed their own code that also used a global variable s.

DevDoodle doesn't use or allow (via CSP) any external resources except images.

I don't want bad code.

user163250

No one encapsulated their JavaScript variables in closures or used less breakable JavaScript global variable names like myCompanyName_s. <facepalm>

user163250

When we told the 2nd company about it, they changed the variable name to like s_companyName or something. Still didn't use a closure like they should have <facepalm>.

user163250

WHO NAMES A GLOBAL JAVASCRIPT VARIABLE "s"?! <facepalm>

bjb568

Or $, for that matter.

Or _.

user163250

To be fair, jQuery can be told to use jQuery instead of $.

user163250

Exactly because of naming conflicts with other libraries.

hichris123

00:18

@Cupcake Seriously? Wow.

bjb568

jQuery is still an undescriptive name.

hichris123

Yeah, there's like jQuery jQuery, and bjb jQuery, and SE jQuery...

user163250

@bjb568 no one is going to deploy their own JavaScript code that also uses the name "jQuery". Well, no one who knows what they're actually doing, at least...

hichris123

I think it's fairly descriptive in a language where minification means variable names of x, a, c, d, o, q, etc.

user163250

I'm sure Underscore.js also has a mechanism for using a unique variable name instead of "_".

bjb568

00:22

@Cupcake But what does "jQuery" do?

user163250

@bjb568 what do you mean "what does it do"? You of all people should already know what it does.

bjb568

@Cupcake Nothing in particular. It's just a collection of functions and carcinogenic nomad patterns that accomplish basic JS things in more convoluted code. It has no good name, since it doesn't do one thing well. It does many things worse-than-vanilla.

Looking at this rep history, he's actually been giving away a ton of bounties.

user163250

That's hardcore.

@Cupcake 43 Offered bounties for 6,700 reputation

CRABOLO

@tchrist only if there was some way to calculate average bounty amount

somewhere around 1 fitty

tchrist

@Cupcake I had this very thing happen to me once.

So maybe others have had it happen to them too, and are upvoting out of their sense of wanting to see an injustice righted.

CRABOLO

what's better, a user who gives away 60,000 rep in bounties but still has 40,000 rep left, or a user that gives away 150 in bounties but only has 1 rep left?

tchrist

The former, because he has given more away.

CRABOLO

01:19

but the latter has given almost all he has

tchrist

To no more than 3 people.

@CRABOLO Here's the thing: to give away 43 bounties is not an anything-quit. It is long, dedicated, deliberate action.

CRABOLO

would take minimum of a month

tchrist

Look at his history.
